Next Generation Science Standards

Grade	Discipline	Core Idea
6-8	ESS3.D: Global climate change	Human activities affect global warming. Decisions to reduce the impact of global warming depend on understanding climate science, engineering capabilities, and social dynamics.
9-12	ESS3.D: Global climate change	Global climate models used to predict changes continue to be improved, although discoveries about the global climate system are ongoing and continually needed.
6-8	LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience	N/A
9-12	LS2.C: Ecosystem dynamics, functioning, and resilience	If a biological or physical disturbance to an ecosystem occurs, including one induced by human activity, the ecosystem may return to its more or less original state or become a very different ecosystem, depending on the complex set of interactions within the ecosystem.
6-8	LS4.D: Biodiversity and humans	Changes in biodiversity can influence humans' resources and ecosystem services they rely on.
9-12	LS4.D: Biodiversity and humans	Biodiversity is increased by formation of new species and reduced by extinction. Humans depend on biodiversity but also have adverse impacts on it. Sustaining biodiversity is essential to supporting life on Earth.
